COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY

July, 2018

Our inaugural year for Community Service Day was a great success. In partnership with NY Cares, our team of Sosemo-ians volunteered at New Roots Community Farm, 670 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10451.

The New Roots Community Farm is managed by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and enables refugee farmers and Bronx community members to grow their own food, share traditional recipes, build community, and increase food and green space access for NYC residents, local schools, and partner organizations.

We spent the day building a stone wall along the hillside farm to prevent rain water and slide damage. As the old saying goes, “many hands make light work”, and we certainly worked well together with NY Cares to make our community a healthier place to live.

NETWORK FOR A CAUSE 2018

May, 2018

2018 was another successful year for our annual Spring fundraiser, which is now becoming legendary as the size of the event has continued to grow year after year. This year, donations went to Room to Read, a non-profit organization for improving literacy and gender equality in education in the developing world.

Founded by former Microsoft Executive John Wood, Room to Read is one of the fastest growing non-profits in the U.S. and has an active New York Chapter where all are encouraged to get involved. The donations raised this year went towards funding over 40 students in Room to Read’s Literacy Program for one full year.

NETWORK FOR A CAUSE 2017

May, 2017

2017 was our 4th year supporting Baal Dan Charities at our annual Network For A Cause fundraiser. Baal Dan supports the basic needs and social welfare of impoverished children, including orphans, street children, and refugees, in Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. With a high degree of transparency, almost 100% of donations go directly to the children that need it most.

This year’s event raised enough money to feed nearly 100 children in need for a full year. Sosemo-ians sure now how to get things done and still have fun!
